Rubicon Theatre Company will present a special one-night-only benefit performance on Thursday, September 10 at 7:00 p.m. of Mike Beck: The Ponies, A Celebration of the Horse in Songs and Stories. The Ponies is a one-man show, written and performed by Beck, combining original songs, classic favorites, and stories of his life’s work in pursuit of forming a harmonious connection between Man and Horse. The show is produced by Terry Foley and Lauren Alexander with Jeff and Valerie Snider and will benefit Rubicon’s Education and Outreach Programs.
About the Performance
The Ponies is a heartfelt, humorous, and deeply moving evening of mostly original songs woven together with unforgettable stories that celebrate the timeless bond between horse and human. Drawing from a lifetime spent studying with legendary horsemen Bill Dorrance, Tom Dorrance, and Ray Hunt; years as a working cowboy throughout the American West; and decades leading acclaimed Horsemanship Clinics, Beck offers far more than a cowboy concert. The Ponies is a rich, inspiring celebration of the enduring partnership between people and horses—told through beautifully crafted songs, vivid storytelling, and genuine Western wisdom.
